You can use collet extension and an additional tube. to extend tubes length. | |||
It is not reccomended to use more than '''one''' collect extension. | |||

</gallery>Proceed to tank calibration. This procedure will result in a "level-liters" (or "level-gallons") table that will allow your monitoring platform to convert the level values that the sensor provides into liters/gallons that are displayed in the monitoring platform reports. You can save the table to the sensor's memory so that the sensor immediately outputs volume values in liters/gallons. You do not need to enter a calibration table on the monitoring platform. The internal memory of the TD BLE sensor can hold up to 50 lines of the calibration table. The capacity of the table on the monitoring platform is usually larger.<blockquote>In addition, it is easier to change the table or correct errors in the calibration table when it is downloaded to the platform than if the table is stored in the sensor's memory</blockquote>In order to create such a table, you need to fill the tank by step by step adding fuel to the tank batch by batch and recording level-liter(/gallon) value pairs after each batch using the | </gallery>Proceed to tank calibration.

To do this, you should connect the sensor, press the '''"Tank calibration"''' '''(2)''' button . But before that, in the '''"Settings" (3)''' menu , make sure that the filtering level is selected '''0 (4)'''. Filtration slows down the level calculation and can increase the tank calibration time.<gallery mode="nolines" widths="300" heights="600"> | To do this, you should connect the sensor, press the '''"Tank calibration"''' '''(2)''' button .

Clean the tank, if necessary. Note that a fuel level sensor installed outside a contaminated tank may function correctly, but the same sensor installed in such a tank may generate this error code. | ||
